Instructions:

Using your Gift Assamble die, run it through your machine four (4) times using  your favorite Sun Kissed Paper sheet or in this case I used white card stock. Fold along the scored lines that the die makes for you, fold the flaps down and the lace like borders up.To put the box together use your favorite liquid adhesive on each of the lace like borders,and adhere them together making sure you have the lace border lined, and now all you have to do is to interlock the bottom flaps on the bottom. I cut out four (4) pieces of the paper collection for each side of the box and distressed the edges to add interest to the box. Make your fabric flower using anything you like doilies, crochet trim, eyelet lace, anything your heart desires, once you have your flower done use the biggest tag die form the Decorative Flower Pot Die and run it though your machine to cut it out, use stazon black ink to stamp Mom from the Sentiments for Mom PreCut Set unto the tag. Adhere the fabric flower and tag to one of the flaps along with some seam binding and scraps of fabric you have left. For the decorative swirls on each side I used four (4)  leaf swirl from the Decorative Flower Pot Die, and you are done! I had so much fun putting this box together :) super easy and fast! Perfect for that small special gift :) Hope you have enjoyed this tutorial.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Measure each side of the box and use your paper trimmer to cut every size of the paper you will be needing to cover each side of the treassure chest. With your scissors distress the edges and use mod podge to adhere the paper to the box, while the mod podge is drying stamp the Sun Kissed Fleur PreCut Set Stamp onto your favorite White paper from Paper Temptress using the Close to my Heart Lagoon ink and use the cordinating Sun Kissed Fleur Die to cut out the Beautiful flowers, for the leaves of the flowers use the foliage die that is part of the Decorative Flower Pot Die set. Now that all the flowers and leaves are cut use your paper blossoms tools to shape your flowers and leaves to add dimmention and a more natural look, also I added a flat back pearls in the center of each flower. Once you have all your flowers and leaves ready use your hot glue to adhere them to the box, add spanish moss and baby's breath as a filler. I used a pencil to wrap the floral wire around to create curls and placed them in between the flowers and leaves with hot glue. To the bottle cap use a 1/2 circle puch to punch out a flower image from the paper collection and use your glossy accents to adhere it, then pour some on the to of the cap, adhere your lace and make a double bow with the seam binding and hot glue it to the front of the box with the cameo covering the knot. Ink the edges of the box with a sponge using the Close to my Heart Lagoon ink and when dry dab gesso to the edges with fingers. Hope you have enjoyed this project:)

SHABBY CHIC FABRIC JOURNAL

I Love to alter Journals and they make great gifts for Family and Friends, my little sister and nieces as well as my daughter Love to play with them, and it is so much fun to see them as they write and stick little notes of wonderful memories. I used Beautiful trims from Suhafuha's esty ( I will provide the link below so that you can go and visit her) and used fabric tack to adhere them to the cover. Saba has the most Unique and Wonderful trims, not to mention the prices for them are just as great :) I want to share with you all some pictures of the journal and talk to you a little bit of how I altered the journal, Hope you enjoy it :)

THE BACK OF THE JOURNAL

Here is the Back of the Journal, I outlined the cover of the journal with calico cream fabric and started to layer all the doilies and trims to the cover I had so much fun and went to town with all the Beautiful trims.

THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE FRONT OF THE JOURNAL

I also layered tons of Beautiful trims here from Suhafuha and then I added the Beautiful soft pink rossette trim and added to the center some flat back heart shaped pearls. The little pink and green peeks you see there are peices of a trim that I cut out just to add color and interest to the journal.

BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

Here you can see a better view of the trims , I just Love them so much, so Beautiful!! those flower sprays I found at Hobby Lobby and they are perfect to fill in spaces.

THE FRONT OF THE JOURNAL 

Here you can see the whole fron of the journal, I Love the way it came out and Suhafuha's trims made it so easy for me to alter this journal :) I hope you can check her store out as well as her Facebook page, and it would be a reall treat for us if you can leave a comment as well to show us what you create with all her wondeful trims from her store :)

A Small Gift To A Great Friend

I have been wanting to alter one of this drawers for a little while and yesterday I went to see what I could find at Hobby Lobby, I saw this wooden drawer and decided to go for it ! I thought it would be a great gift for a such sweet friend of mine :) 

Here is one of the sides of the drawer,I painted the edges of the drawer with white gesso since I knew that the paper was going to cover most of the wood. The paper collection I used is the Lyric Collection from Prima, it is such a BEAUTIFUL paper collection and I had so much fun playing with it. I used modge podge to adhere the paper and for texture
used snow tex, I also distressed the edges with my prima tool to add more texture to the edges, with a sponge I dabbed gesso to the edges and some of the areas in the corners and just ramdom places, I also fussy cute some of the images from the paper collection and adhere them to the box,I think gesso gives a very Shabby Chic effect to this project :) in my Humble opinion.

For the top of the drawer I had this teacup set that I found at my local thrift store and with a sponge I dabbed gesso a couple of times and heat dried it to speed up the process while it was not completely dry I used my fingers to dab some snow tex in ramdom places and heat set it. I adhered the cup  to the plate with E6000 and hot glue, the hot glue will keep it in place while the E6000 dries. I added spanish moss and flowers to embellish the top as well as some items I fussy cut from the paper collection.

 

Here is how the other side of the drawer looks, I used pink satin ribbon  and threaded it to the side of the box and I have seen some talented do this and I just love the look it gives to the box, so thank you so much to all the wonderful Ladies like MsLiberty25 among many who inspire me! I also added some trim from my stash to soften and add a wonderful Shabby Chic feel to it .I love using spanish moss and I thought it would be perfect for this side of the drawer along with the Beautiful bird cage, in the inside of the cage I cut an image from the paper collection and adhered it to the cage with modge podge, It looks wonderful!! I do hope you guys have enjoyed this project, I had so much fun working on it and I know my friends will love it :)
Thank you for stopping by :)

Heartfelt Creations Semi-Finalist Entries

I am so excited to be on the semi-finalist for Heartfelt Creations :) and had so much fun playing with the awesome goodies sent to me on the semi-finalist kit. I decided to create a layout and alter a cigar box for my entries, I do hope you enjoy them and vote for me :) Thank you all so much for all your support and love!

Layout
To Create this Layout I used the Vintage Floret  Paper Collection from Heart felt Creations , and it is so Beautiful and Shabby Chic. The Beautiful Picture was included on the kit  and it is so Beautiful that I just had to create a layout with it. I made the flowers using the the Posy Patch Flowers Stamps and the cordinating Posy Patch Heartfelt Creations Spellbinders, they are so beautiful and they are one of the flowers I learned to make on More Paper Than Shoes Class, the spellbinders and stamps just make them very easy for me to make and ave me alot of time cutting. The Photo Corner is one of many Beautiful Heart Felt Creations spellbinders, so elegant and beautiful! The sentiment is from the paper Collection and it has many other beautiful sentiments. I love How this layout Turned out!! it is so Beautiful!!! 

Cigar Box Top and Side View
I used and old picture frame I had in my stash to create a shadow box for the top and adhered it with E600 and hot glue.
Do you see the Cheese cloth peaking out?

The Front view
I used seam binding to make a double bow and a ribbon buckle with a flat back pearl adhered with hot glue .
The Paper Collection ( Vintage Floret Collection) is so Beautiful and it was perfect for the shabby chic look I was going for this box. I adhere the paper inside and out of the box with modge podge and dabbed gesso on the edges.

TOP VIEW

For the Inside of the little shadow box I fussy cut some of the Beautiful Images from the paper collection and mounted them on foam board for dimention. The sentiment is from the paper collection as well and I distressed the edges and dabbed gesso with a sponge. I added cheese cloth to the background and Spanish moss and dabbed gesso as well. Look at those photo corners! they are so beautiful !! I love how this box turned out and wish I could keep it but It will be on its way to Heartfelt Creations very soon :)

I FEEL LIKE A LITTLE BIRD WITH A BIG SONG

       

I wanted to alter something to add to my spring decor for my home and I found a small picture frame that I had purchased from Michael's a while back from the dollar bin, I thought it would be perfect! I made the box out of foam board and used liquid adhesive to put it together and pins to make it more sturdy. Once the glue was dry I added paper from the pink paislee, london market collection with modge podge. I also used gesso and vintage white acrylic paint to distress the box.I love the way it turned out!

I added flowers from a spray that I had found at Hobby Lobby on the left corner and on the bottom right I added a gardenia from I AM ROSES with some little eggs and a porcelain rose. On of the flower I fussy cut a sentiment from the Follow Your Heart, My Mind's Eye paper collection.

I used E6000 and hot glue to adhere the frame, I used the hot glue so that  I can still work on it while the E6000 dries.Using my finguer I dabbed some gesso mixed with a baby blue acrylc pain. I dyed  seam binding using tatter angels spray and wrinkled it while using my heat gun to dry, made a double bow and used a piece of trim and bling from Suhafuha's Etsy Store (the link to her store will be provided for you below) Than all I did was to adhere the blue robbing to the top of the box and dab white gesso on him, and  glue the box to a glass candle holder with E6000 and there you have it!!

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial :)

EXCITING NEWS :)

I am so EXCITED and nerveous today :) I have never done an application for a DT call for the reason that I do not feel like I do not have much experience on crafting, but with a little push from a friend I have decided to give it a go and respond to a DT call from Heartfelt Creations, and I am so Humbled and just so Excited to have be able to make it to the semifinalist!!! Now I am so nerveous and a little scared but I know that if I give it my best and just have fun with it is more than enough for me :) and If I do make the DT it would be a dream come true, so much to learn and experiment,and share with you guys, and if I do not make the team it would still be such an awesome experience :) cross your finguers for me!!
